More quotes by Glenn Close
When they tested Fatal Attraction, the audiences were so upset by her behavior, they literally demanded her blood.
Glenn Close
I think the diva is kind of a cliche. My definition of a diva is somebody whose talent does not match what they're trying to play, so all this temperament comes out.
Glenn Close
The word diva has a negative connotation.
Glenn Close
As far as the difference for me between television and movies, I really thrill to the pace of television. As exhausting as it can be - there was actually one day when we never went to bed.
Glenn Close
I think there are certain actors that have that kind of energy about them, that taking over a room energy.
Glenn Close
When you're playing a man, you can look tired and horrible and you still look okay. As a woman, if you're tired, it's terrible. It was such a luxury not having to worry about that.
Glenn Close
It is an odd paradox that a society, which can now speak openly and unabashedly about topics that were once unspeakable, still remains largely silent when it comes to mental illness.
Glenn Close
I knew the term Stepford Wife, and I knew what that meant. I never read the book, and I think before I started filming I watched the movie. I thought it was very dated.
Glenn Close
The mentally ill frighten and embarrass us. And so we marginalize the people who most need our acceptance. What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, more unashamed conversation.
Glenn Close
I am extremely shy. I am not happy in crowds of people.
Glenn Close
I grew up with a house full of dogs. My mother was a great nature lover and taught us to have almost a religious sense of respect for the natural world.
Glenn Close
I love histories. I love learning. I love books that talk about people who made a real impact on history, because it always has to do with who they were at that time and what their personalities were like and what their strengths and weaknesses were.
Glenn Close
Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.
Glenn Close
People think that the ocean is big enough to sustain anything we throw at it - its hard to get into your head that it's actually finite.
Glenn Close
I get bored talking about myself, but I can talk about the work.
Glenn Close
I don't have the body or the face for romantic comedies, so I've never been offered those. The challenge is that a lot of people see you only as your last character, so you're constantly competing with whatever your last movie was.
Glenn Close
I really hope it engenders a lot of conversation because I believe there are a lot of people who put on faces. We all do it, every time we walk out the door. And there are a lot of people who have to hide who they are. And I think this story speaks to that.
Glenn Close
There are a lot of big spec houses now all across Connecticut, a lot of ostentatious showing of wealth.
Glenn Close
And when you're with a great crew like we had, it becomes a thrilling, again, collaboration, which is to me one of the great aspects of the process that you go through. I find myself at this point in my career, getting potentially, incredibly bored if I stand around a lot, so that's why I really like the pace of television.
Glenn Close
Just play the moment, that's the fun of it. You just play the moment. It's great writing and very clever writing, I think it's witty. And I have those great clothes. You have a great, witty, intelligent script and you look like a million dollars, because we have a great costumer, and it's a pretty good place to begin.
